Hi! I started working on a degree in business management from TESU in October (pretty excited that I was able to hammer out 6 study.com courses already!) I transferred some credits in from a community college and am one credit shy of my 4 credit requirement for science.
Anyone know of a simple 1 credit course? something easy. Or am I better off just taking a science class on study.com and letting the other 2 credits overflow into my gened requirements? I have a very easy time doing study.com courses so far and don't mind paying extra.
Best,
Tom

Yes it's usually much simpler and cheaper to do a 3 credit course and have a little extra than try and find a 1 credit course. You could find a 1 credit lab course but the course and/or lab materials would cost more than just doing an extra science course, unless you specifically needed a lab. Onlinedegree.com has a few science courses you could do for very cheap or you could just stick with study.com.

The general consensus around here is that, while there are a couple one-credit science options, they are almost always labs and the time/money you'll have to spend is often more than just taking a 3-credit class.
If you're looking for suggestions, I found OnlineDegree.com's Astronomy very interesting and it's only $9/3 credits. But be aware that it's only an option if you live in the US.

Thanks! How do courses on OD compare to study.com as far as how long it takes to get through? I can get through a study.com class in about 8 hours

The thing about the OD courses is the videos have timers on them so they have to run about 50-100% of their length before you can move on, even if they're played at double speed. So it will take take a little longer than 8 hours.

You should be able to ask a TESU adviser or the onlinedegree customer service rep(they always respond really fast). They have an articulation agreement, however for whatever reason, they haven't posted it on the site yet.
99.9% sure TESU will accept it, though.

If that is true, it will help me out so much as all I have is the Capstone, Bio, and Algebra left. Algebra is the one im scared for, as im horrible at math.

I agree that TESU should accept anything from OnlineDegree.com since it is all NCCRS recommended.
As for the articulation agreement, the last update I've seen from them is that they were still finalizing the agreement. Until its signed and made official, I'm sure they can't post anything.

Best of luck! Are you still planning to use ALEKs for algebra?
I'm personally finding this site: https://schoolyourself.org/
to be great for basic algebra review. It sounds funny coming from an adult but I find the lessons effective, concise, engaging and fun. It's free, too. I actually look forward my study sessions with that site.

That's probably the ticket right there. OD has made tuition discount/scholarship agreements with some colleges already, maybe they're working something with TESU as well? I'm sure TESU's partnership with study.com has been very mutually beneficial.

If i can just get a 70% on the assessment i can test out of it correct? If I manage that i would be ecstatic. Trying to finish all this before my AAS Capstone starts in January.
Yes im aware the AAS is not really the best idea however, I am a instant gratification sort of guy so I went with the AAS. That and they took all my old FEMA courses so it knocked out alot of my stuff. I plan on doing alot of straighterline and a few other courses as well and get my Bachelors once i figure out the concentration i want. However, I was also looking at transferring out to Troy University and going into their BAS in Resource and Technology Management program as they will accept my AAS and transfer credits. Then move into a Masters from them (direct admission if I have a good enough GPA, looking at a Masters in Public Admnistration.)
